Exactly why I never bothered wearing head sets on my 360 as I could barely understand ppl half the time anyway expecially when you are also shooting a gun but with the Xbox One sound quality this will make the exp. way more enjoyable. Makes you wonder why Microsoft has let Sony get so far ahead and now showing off all the small things that make a concole great.

I'm buying ps4 because i want next gen. Xbox one isn't next gen because there is nothing new now that they have reversed all of their policies. If people want to buy an inferior console to the ps4 (hardware, software, games etc.) and still want to dash out 100 more dollars, i'm just going to say, instead of having a pointless argument, "let me know how that works out for you".

@jenovaschilld actually the wireless controller does have a 10 foot USB/Micro USB cord that it plugs into. So now you can use your wireless controller on your PC. No need to buy a separate Wired controller :)

@conspirethis You're giving numbers that are related to game audio/console hardware capabilities. 24Khz is great for audio chat ;)

And don't forget, the new Xbox One controller expansion port is actually a modified HDMI plug, so maybe we'll see headsets that plugs right into it instead of having a huge box connected to the optical port of the console, as HDMI can handle 5.1 and even 7.1 audio, you can easily imagine a headset you'll just need to plug in the controller's port and you're ready to go :D

@hadlee73 what idiot willingly enters a public cod lobby with their voice chat enabled and headset worn? jeez, i havent done that since mw2 and thats only because it was forced if i wanted to chat with friends in a game party while playing. slow learner are we?

@Shantmaster_K@OrphanSlapper How so? I'm not taking either side here, although I will be getting a PS4 just because M$ fucked themselves with their original policies, but both of them seem pretty equally matched.

@Pedro_De_Pacas Saying the extra $100 is for dedicated servers is just asshattery. Than what about the millions of people who are going to buy the console with no intention of playing online? Not to mention they did not even announce dedicated servers until long after the $500 price tag. If anything the $60 annual xbox live cost would pay for the dedicated servers. Don't just spread misinformation because it sounds good to you in your own head

@mucking_foron@neprisistates Maybe from skype and PS allowing the government to store all the voice chat's you ever had. And now with the new kinect and skype, they will be able to record and store everything you do on video as well.

@96augment@deadly_yank33@hadlee73 Nah, Nintendo's got a shitty reputation with the younger twitch shooter crowd now, it's all between Sony and MS, and with the PS4 being cheaper 99% of them will flock to it.
